Drones are unmanned aircraft that can carry cameras and weapons. They're used by governments for surveillance and warfare, and by private companies for commercial purposes. The U.S. government uses drones to kill suspected terrorists overseas, while other countries use them for surveillance and counterinsurgency operations.
According to the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, more than 2,500 people were killed in drone strikes between 2004 and 2013. However, the actual number of deaths caused by drone strikes is likely much higher because not all victims are counted as casualties.
Military UAVs can also be categorized based on the range they can achieve. Here are the types of military drones according to range:
There are currently 4 types of drones according to design:
UAVs with a fixed-wing design resemble traditional manned commercial aircraft as they have a set of wings. This is the most common design used by military drones. UAVs with a multi-rotor design are drones with 3 or more propellers. These types of drones include tricopters (3 props), quadcopters (4 props), hexacopters (6 props), and octocopters (8 props). UAVs with a single rotor design resemble helicopters as they only have a single main rotor with a small tail rotor. UAVs with a hybrid VTOL design are drones that have combined both the fixed-wing and rotary-blade designs (both single and multi-rotor) into one aircraft.
Military combat UAVs can be used for various applications. Here are 6 types of military drones according to function:
